Behind these little buttons are some pretty ingenious systems. Ingenious, but occasionally failing! Because it remains a concern that we have all known, on a Citroen Osmose or another car. But before replacing your system, you just need to know where the problem is. An electrical fault problem? Are the gears stuck? We will try to answer all your questions here below.
Citroen Osmose: a window goes down but does not go up, or the reverse
Before replacing the element, let's quickly see how this device works. When you push or lift the button on your window, there are two switches in practice . The electrical signal only circulates when you activate it. It is therefore conceivable that the concern arises from a false contact. Remove the part with a flat screwdriver, and examine the cables at their beginning and at their end. If the problem is not the result of a bad contact, then it is the window regulator motor of your Citroen Osmose which is HS. It is also possible that the gears are worn. It is possible to try to troubleshoot the problem, but in general it will be necessary to replace the entire window regulator.
Citroen Osmosis: A single window does not work at all
It is rather exceptional that the problem comes from the switch, because both connections or cables would have to be faulty. You can still check if you want to be sure. Therefore, the problem will certainly come from the mechanics of the window regulator of the Citroen Osmose. It may be that the latter comes from engine window regulator, or a faulty gear. Remove the door trim to check the interior. Activate the window to see if the engine is running, and try to understand the source of the problem. If any gears jam, it is possible to clean and lubricate them. If nothing happens, it is probably necessary to change the entire window regulator system.
Citroen Osmosis: Electric window blocked
A window of your Citroen Osmose is stuck. You try to raise it by pressing the button or by hand, nothing happens it is blocked. This problem can come from the motor of the window regulator, but in general it will be possible to reassemble it by hand. It is therefore much more plausible that your window has come out of its sound. rail . By shifting, as soon as you raise your window, it hangs on one side. In these cases, do not force it. You will have to clear the door and look at what is blocking inside. If ever the window guides prove to be faulty, you will probably have to replace them.
Conclusion:
To put it simply, a glass problem on your Citroen Osmose can result from an electrical problem, with the window regulator system, or the rails which guide it. Do not hesitate to leave us a comment if your concern does not appear above. We hope this guide has helped you, see you soon!
